Hussalonia

Pop / Indie / Experimental

Buffalo, NY

Billboard

Hussalonia is a pop music cult working under the mantra: Pop does not mean popular. Short songs. Pop song convention re-examined. Multiple personalities and esoteric themes. Sometimes nonsense.

Founded by Buffalonian, liar, vegetarian, Beatles fan, depression-victim, literary-fiction reader, Mallow Cup lover, absurdist, workaholic, fast walker, straight but gay friendly, right-handed but liberal, misanthrope who sometimes wants to save the world anyway, and possibly your friend, Jesse Mank.

Visit www.hussalonia.com for more or less info. (And lots of free downloads.)

...and this is why I love McCartney:

Short Wicks on Small Bombs Apr 26

Pure bitching. Plain and simple.


Currently listening to....

We All Belong By Dr. Dog: I'm totally obsessed with this record. It's like the filthy demo for some lost masterpiece from 1970 (but in fact recorded this year). I can almost smell the oil cans and lawn mower parts from the garage this must have been recorded in. Sophisticated three part harmonies, diminished chords, textural arrangements, Beatle-esque changes, but executed with a certain sense of reckless abandon. Everything sounds muddy, veiled, desperate. In the end, it's a very mysterious effect: something so finely crafted, treated so carelessly. Highly recommended.
